Persian Gulf University

What you'll study

The university evaluates candidates for research supervision and fit with available supervisors across multiple departments. Research topics and supervisors listed for this admission round include areas such as:

• Mechanical engineering (design, computational mechanics, vibrations, nanomechanics, acoustics).
• Statistics (wavelet theory in inference, functional data analysis, data science, reliability and sampling designs).
• Chemical engineering (adsorption, pressure swing adsorption, CO2 capture, zeolite synthesis, nanofibres, membrane separation, process simulation, biodiesel, green solvents, energy processes, CFD applications).
• Chemistry specialities (organic, inorganic, physical chemistry) as hosts for doctoral supervision.

The listed supervisors have specific research emphases—for example in composite nanomaterials and computational mechanics, wavelet theory and statistical inference, membrane processes and desalination, process intensification and CFD, nanomaterials for energy and medical applications, and experimental and modelling work on adsorption and phase‑equilibrium thermodynamics.

Entry requirements

Admission requires passing the national PhD exam and receiving invitation from Sanjesh to the university stage. Candidates are assessed at the university by specialised exams if needed, review of academic records and a face‑to‑face scientific interview. Candidates must attend the interview in person and complete the Porsman registration form selecting at least one supervisor. Graduates aiming for the October entry must complete their degree by 31 Shahrivar.

Career prospects

Successful PhD candidates will pursue doctoral research under listed supervisors in areas spanning engineering, chemistry and statistics. Career outcomes follow typical doctoral paths: academic research and university teaching, research roles in industry and government laboratories, and specialist R&D positions in sectors such as energy, water treatment, materials, process engineering and data science—aligned with the supervisor’s research themes.

Scholarships & funding angle

The source text does not specify scholarships or stipends. Applicants should inquire with department managers and potential supervisors about funding opportunities tied to specific projects or grants during the interview and registration process.
